Hi I have a complete installation of Cygwin on Windows XP Professional and have made the following attempts to install mod-perl 2.0 on the same 1. installed apache 2.2.8 2. Installed ActiveState 10x 3. downloaded mpinstall 4. perl mpinstall from dos prompt C:\ActiveStatePerl\bin\ppm install mod_perl-2.0.ppd ppm install failed: The PPD does not provide code to install for this platform system C:\ActiveStatePerl\bin\ppm install mod_perl-2.0.ppd failed: 256 at mpinst all line 242.
I have also tried to download and install httpd-2.2.8.tar.gz under cygwin as below I untarred this tarball and ran configure followed by make and then make install. A few questions given my relative inexperience working with web-apps/servers/etc, much less with perl-based solutions. I am trying to get the environment in place to get my feet wet with MayPole 1) How do I resolve the error pasted above (ppm install failed, etc)? 2) How do I continue with installing mod-perl under cygwin? A related question: If the make install and configure has been error-free, how do I start / stop the Apache server from under Cygwin? Does it or does it not conflict with the installation done using a Windows Installer at C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation, etc?
